Who would guess that one short year ago she, with the other sophs, was rushing to Lit class, typing budgets, and desperately trying to account for a twenty-five cent loss in the trial balance? W A Hers is a charming personality. We envy her ability and perseverance and are glad that she decided not to leave us entirely. May the joy of success be hers! MELBA MARIE CARLSON College Rec-ofrcler P. A. L. was lucky when Miss Carlson decided to come b1ack+lt:his time not as la, student, .but as a meimbeir' of the oiiice- staff . Sihe assumels ihier duties. as one- Well ver-sed inthe Ways of a college office. We hope that she- will be just as happy now as she was when she Worked in the classroom. We, at least, have done our best to make her like us! GENIEVE RANsoM Librarian g Always so busy, the girls say of Miss Ransom, and this is truly characteristic of our college librarian. Be- sides her manifold duties in the library Where she is always ready to help any student who is in difficulty, she gives one of the most fascinating courses in the cur- . riculum, a course which treats of the use and problems of the library, and Which is not only interesting, but exceed- ingly useful to the undergraduate student.

GEORGE RALEIGH COFFMAN, A.B., A.M., PH.D. fll B K I , It Professor' amd Head of the Diepdlrtmefmt of English Hello, Kappa ! exclaimed Dr. Coffman to me at the Senior Ring , Banquet last night. What are you doing over here ? ' I've been chasing you around for the past week, I repljed, f0I' I was somewhat disgruntled, and not the least bit Interested In all the 1 lovely girls around me. Here Dr. Coffman is always so busy that I ' had to follow him to a banquet to- get an interview with him! 1 Well, suppose you sit up with me at the table and have some of I I I this banquet, and then maybe yo'u'll feel better. . i 1. Everything was going along beautifully until my chlcken slid off ,V' my plate, and I jumped down to get it just as they took the Hash-light g picture. And that's why I wasn't in the picture, and why Dr. Coifman was laughing so hard in it. Noi wonder Dr. 'Coffman is such a favo-rite at P. A. L.! It's his , sense of humor' that makes English Literature one of the most interest- ing classes at the College. And need I say anything about the advanced classes-especially English Methods-where he is making teachers by , :oem 255' md. pm 'Jimi atm 53 55 5?-'D UQ? ,T fn '85 GRO ofa Sis, agp., 252 Z R+ ISE' UIQ-fa! fb 5.56, get S23 Q mga.

B K :Q , I Professor of English Kappa, I said to myself- you surely lead a dog's life! Traipsing l li around trying to interview these elusive professors! And I was very blue indeed as I entered Professor Taylor's office. 'V In answer to my queries, hle said that he thought the girls of today I are gro-wing more and more energetic and sensible and delightful- A and especially the girls in P. A. L., he added. Then he look-ed at me over the top of his glasses, and his eyes I , twinkled merrily as he said, with one of his knowing glances, I was l just telling my girls a story-about the wo-man who was 'all marble 4 arms and black velvet! Perhaps you've heard it? I if And before I knew it, I was laughing heartily--my blues entirely l forgotten-in response to- his contagious chuckle. .1, . If all the professors had as much 'pep' and enthusiasm as Professor Taylor, I thought, as I trotted down the corridor looking at my list ,, of interviews, I wouldn't mind be-ing a PAL at all. Even a dog can f understand that the popularity of Professor Taylor's courses is only , . , natural, when he is so interested in his students and their Welfare. ' ' I I EDWARD AUSTIN WARRIEN, A.B., A.M., PH.D. Q A r, QI R K Asszstomt Professlofr of English, I l Steve! Must you make all that racket in lapping up your milk? I must Say, it isn't a bit becoming in a cat of your intellectual calibre. It 1S essentlal, you know, above all things, to give free play and allow perfect expression of one's highe-r self . Unless, of course, you read The American Mercury - The Americana , in particular, you know. 1 Ah! I thought as much. Well, then, there's no ho-pe for you. Yes, Dr. Warren was speaking about it only a moment ago. He reads I only Santayana and Chesterton, you see, although he occasionally dips 1l'1t0 the poetry of the new school. Yes, he is a modernist. Quite. And yet, the Greeks are absolutely the thing with him. In fact, he says that since the Greeks, there has been nothing original said, thought, or written .... Strange, isn't it? ' p Ch! Anid have you heard the latest? He is directing the Glee Club this year In' addition to everyth.ing else he does. Must be rather nice , , to be so bramy, don't you think?
